Frances and Jared wanted their wedding to feel more like a festive dinner party than a formal reception. Unfussy garden meets shabby chic, Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona del Mar was an amazing place to host the event. It was clean and elegant and add in beautiful personal details like a stunning Ketubah and family-made chuppah and I’m always sold. I love the classic florals by LaVonne’s Florist and of course you can never go wrong with traditional engraved Crane’s wedding invitations. Ashleigh Taylor did a gorgeous job capturing the day!

The following Southern California vendors contributed to Frances and Jared’s wedding:

As an onsite hair and makeup artist from Florida, I appreciate the wooded (non-beach) backgrounds! I have always loved the elegance-amid-the-rustic-textures look! The pale roses bouquet was GORGEOUS! Just like the bride ;)

Today’s weddings are unique and personal. A personalized aisle runner helps distinguish a wedding right from the first moments of the ceremony The new wedding runners are woven from tear-resistant white rayon and are available in seven distinct personalization styles. Two of the new runners allow couples to have their names and a single initial monogram printed on the fabric, while the other designs are printed with the couple’s names and the date of their wedding. Couples can select from a variety of ink colors for each design to further customize the look of their wedding aisles decorations.
